Luxury (2025)
Highland Park Brewery

Luxury is exactly what it sounds like—a truly luxurious barrel-aged imperial vanilla stout loaded up with around 1lb of vanilla per barrel, featuring three different varieties: Comoros, Uganda, and Vanuatu. It’s a full-on vanilla experience from start to finish, but with balance and depth that keeps you coming back for another sip.

It pours jet black with tinges of reddish-brown coloring around the edges. Right away, you get hit with rich aromas of oak and creamy, marshmallowy vanilla and smooth oak that make you want to dive right in. On the palate, it’s all about waves of vanilla, roasty chocolate, spirit warmth, and barrel character, with enough dryness to keep the sweetness in check.
